If I have so much fun camping in the Casita, why can't I transfer that feeling to home? And it is because of all the non-fun things that must be done while we are here.<br />Yes, escaping is the answer!<br />David says "thank you."lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417850245451338218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-274520339427748032012-10-02T21:32:10.103-04:002012-10-02T21:32:10.103-04:00Ain't it a drag to be at home, looking at all ...Ain't it a drag to be at home, looking at all the projects we should be doing. Much better to be on the road where they are out of reach. Wanda's grandmother used to make the best fig preserves. I would eat an entire pint jar with a pan of her hot biscuits. No one in the family has yet to duplicate them.

That's what got me started 5 years ago. This was the first year that we had a lot of figs...more than we could keep count. They are brown turkey figs.<br /><br />Your climate may be too cold for fig trees..but you never know with global warming.lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417850245451338218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-75672544739823477742012-10-02T19:38:00.253-04:002012-10-02T19:38:00.253-04:00I know what you mean when you say you wasted time ...I know what you mean when you say you wasted time trying to get something to look decent.

We had our first almost freezing night at 34º - and have some more coming up at the end of the week. Your trailer site is so pretty, can you see the water out the uncovered windows? Yes, your answer to your dilemma will come along, sometime it seems forever. Take care you two.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348249181973757508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129594103639249226.post-26709969991638500452012-10-02T08:44:53.427-04:002012-10-02T08:44:53.427-04:00FIGS...I have never ate a fig and not sure why but...FIGS...I have never ate a fig and not sure why but to have them growing in your yard - cool! Did see them in our Kroger for the first time last Sunday. Closest I've been is a fig newton :O) WOW 75...and still going strong. That is truly wonderful! A home base...ecks always on my mine where I'll end up.

I've painted it twice and the paint peels up (used latex paint the first time, then oil based paint the next time) so now I just use tinted waterproofing oil. But now the tint is wearing off! Sure have wasted way too much time trying to get it to look decent! I have a serious case of deck-paint envy! :D<br /><br />Cool about the figs!<br /><br />The duplex sounds perfect as long as you had quiet tenants in the other unit. But you are right--you will know what is right for you.<br /><br />Happy birthday to hubby! So glad you are both out camping and enjoying life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
